    Unless I’m missing something, all (regularised) immigrants in Spain are EU residents.

    ETA: but yeah, taxing empty homes would be better but the people who have more of those probably also have friends in the government.

      Non resident buyers means empty homes for a larger part of the year. Because these are only speculative or holiday homes.

      Taxing empty homes is good, but also more difficult to enforce.
